I am of an age where I go back to Sabbath/Motorhead/UFO etc and still enjoy all that stuff, however I also think that there is so much superb musicianship in a lot of the more recent bands that doesn't get talked about enough. You often hear people say comments like. "Rock is rubbish nowadays and there are no decent bands around!" It's just not - nowadays you can't just chuck out 3 chords banged up to eleven and it's a winner. The musicianship now is a whole new level. i.e as someone posted above a track from Alterbridge - Mark Tremonti is just one supremely gifted guitarist
He is just one of many.

So in a nutshell just wanted to recognise more modern artists of this genre.

Agree with all that. I'm into some of the more obscure and extreme stuff and the internet has made it much easier to find. Also made it much easier for people to create and distribute without label help.
